Hello Kenny,

When SSH Public keys field in Web UI displays: "New: key not set" it 
means that the key was not set in 'Show/Set key' dialog. In other words 
you did not paste anything into the textarea or you pressed 'Cancel' 
button instead of 'Set' button.

If something is pasted and confirmed by 'Set' button it displays: 'New: 
key set'. The last remaining step is to click on 'Update' button on the 
header part of the page to confirm and perform all the changes you made 
on the page.

When keys are set in LDAP you should see a line similar to following for 
each key:
"13:67:6B:BF:4E:A2:05:8E:AE:25:8B:A1:31:DE:6F:1B public key test (ssh-rsa)"
Each fingerprint is followed by 'Show/Set key' and 'Delete' buttons.

I can't comment the CLI part without more information: key and exact 
command you used.

HTH
